Our 3rd Person in line for president (Nancy Pelosi) serves San Francisco and is one of the most liberal people in the entire country. She supports no border between Mexico and the US period.

I think Illegals will prefer Los Angeles and Santa Ana because of the condo units that illegal families can squeeze masses into...I don't think they are going to be going for Victorians or $1300/Month studios in old sf...I think its much too expensive and unfortunately the leadership there is so "crazy liberal" not the good ole' fashion jimi hendrix lovin' liberal that it wants to attract the illegals...I would demand an end to that crap...I hope sf residents will stand up to their city government and christian bale lookalike mayor

We need to VOTE in a law that is like that one that was passed by Oklahoma. If only we could get that on the ballot as a proposition (dreaming) that would prohibit ANYONE from helping an illegal outside of an emergency situation. I would love that to happen in California. Im generating some ideas here........

Although SF is expensive, 4000 gets you a 3bd2ba in a reasonable area verses something outside Nob Hill, Pac Heights where Illegals would not feel comfortable living. BTW, 3bd3ba is also a rare commodity. Many use the dining room and living room as a bedroom.

Most people in SF do not have such large families. It is a young person's town where 4 or 5 people share a place. Or non family (gay) community so a studio is perfectly acceptable.

Many Latinos live in the Mission District which is huge and accommodating to them. Rents can be sub 1500.

If you do not live in a tight Urban setting, it may be difficult for you to understand the draw, convenience, practicality etc. Living in a suburb on an acre with a 3000 sq ft house is not practical for illegals.

However.. thats exactly what the hell they did. They bought these huge houses in attempt to "rent out rooms" to their fellow family members and still lost their homes.

Look at it THIS way...if you worked all week mowing lawns, you wouldn't want to live in a suburb EITHER....
ALSO....living in an 'urban' setting is fairly easy without owning a car. In a suburban setting, it's pretty tough. And MANY illegals (in MY experience) don't own cars. They ride with friends, ride buses, ride bikes, or walk.

As for me, I am boycotting San Francisco. It was already high on my list of pariahs for it's illegal ban on firearms and promotion of homosexuality.

Wrong.

The Bay Area is the richest and most prosperous region in California, by some margin at that. What this means is that we pay the most state taxes and our money helps the others-definitely not vice versa.

What a shame that you would deprive yourself of such a wonderful place.
